 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After doing some research, reading positive reviews online, and getting a recommendation from a colleague, we chose Mufasa Tours—even though they weren't the cheapest option. We couldn't be happier with our decision! Our guide, Douglas, was consistently professional, cordial, approachable, and in a great mood. The absolute highlight of the trip was the incredible wildlife, especially seeing the cheetah and leopard up close. The lodge's Zebra Plains close proximity to the Masai Mara, combined with the wonderful friendliness of the staff, made our stay unforgettable. A special thank you to our sales consultant, Andrew, who was professional throughout and keen to provide the best possible advice. We are extremely satisfied and would wholeheartedly recommend Mufasa Tours.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 9-day safari with Mufasa was an absolute dream from start to finish, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Kelvin. From collecting us at the airport to hotel transfers and guiding us onto the train to Mombasa, his seamless organization kept every day exciting and stress-free. Kelvin is exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and remarkable at tracking wildlife across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli—consistently positioning our vehicle for the absolute best photo angles. His warm personality and flawless planning made this an unforgettable journey, and we couldn't recommend him or Mufasa more highly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing safari experience with Mufasa Adventures, from Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Everything was well organised, and the team was very helpful throughout the trip. A special mention to our guide, Alvin. His knowledge, patience and incredible instincts made our game drives even more memorable. We had some amazing wildlife sightings thanks to his great decisions. We also really appreciated Mufasa’s flexibility when we had to postpone our trip last year — our deposit was kept as a travel credit and we were able to use it this year. Highly recommended! 🇰🇪

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic safari with Musafa Tours, visiting Amboseli and Tsavo East. Leonard was our driver and guide and was brilliant throughout. Extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, and with the eyesight of an eagle! He somehow managed to spot animals we would never have seen ourselves and made the whole experience a lot of fun. Amboseli was a real highlight. We saw an incredible number of elephants, along with plenty of other wildlife, and the scenery was spectacular. Tsavo East was beautiful too, although the animal density was lower than I had imagined. In hindsight, I probably would have spent a little extra and combined Amboseli with the Masai Mara instead. That said, we saw a huge variety of animals and had a great experience overall. A big thank you to Leonard in particular for making the trip so memorable. Definitely recommend Musafa Tours!

Abbiamo fatto 6 giorni di Safari (Amboseli, Navisha e Masai Mara) e grazie a RICHARD (la nostra guida) abbiamo vissuto momenti indimenticabili e siamo riusciti a vedere tutti i Big Five e altri tantissimi animali. La passione con cui ci hanno coinvolto e la voglia di spingersi oltre ogni limite per farci vedere tutto é stata davvero commovente. Richard é stato davvero il point of difference che ci ha permesso di vivere un’esperienza indimenticabile. CONSIGLIATO ASSOLUTAMENTE se volete fare Safari in Kenya!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just concluded our 24days Kenya safari and beach adventure with musafa tours. We are so happy we had Andrew plan our entire safari tour and Kenya trip. The lodges Andrew selected for us were very good. The guide was so helpful and informative and a great driver too. I was worried about the long drive across the country but with Oldhis, the drive felt like nothing I imagined. He is such a careful driver. The lodges Andrew booked were carefully selected for our family . They were family friendly lodges. My had this trip planned within a week. I was not so sure we could get good lodges because of the time constraints but Andrew did the best. We are so glad we booked with Mufasa. The whole intinary was planed by them and they didn’t disappoint. Thank you Andrew and Oldhis for making our safari experience an enjoyable one. I highly recommend mufasa tours for anyone looking to book a safari tour in Kenya.

 Verified Inolvidable Kenia I would recommend Mufasa without a doubt. Their closeness to people from the very first contact with the agency, along with the patience to coordinate the trip, provide proposals, and secure bookings, is very proactive. As for the guide, our guide Ibrahim was an exceptional human being and guide. He behaved excellently, patiently, and kindly with our 3-year-old son. He took us to and showed us the highlights of the trip, and made sure we took photos that would capture the great experience. He was also punctual and careful with timing

 Verified What an experience We had an absolutely amazing time on this safari! The highlights of our trip were definitely the wildlife viewings, where we were lucky enough to see four of the Big Five up close. Our guide (Jackson) was incredible, knowledgeable, friendly, and great at spotting animals. The service was top-notch from start to finish. We only missed out on the fifth animal ( rhinoceros) , but that just gives us a great reason to come back. Highly recommended! Pictures dont do justice!!

 Verified 42 person safari, great communication, fantastic drives and reps Absolutely fantastic company, great communication throughout and unlike other companies I contacted about a safari they were straight up with pricing for jeeps vs vans. I arranged this for 42 people and they put 6 people per jeep to ensure comfort, some company's wants to squeeze 7/8 people per jeep at the same cost. The guides where fantastic and very knowledgeable, knew all the good places to go in tsavo East seeing 4 of the big 5 (no rhinos in that park) Food was a buffet meal which was very good. No pressure (except when a leopard was spotted and we hot wheeled to see it but we covered the missed ground ) Highly recommend this company so much so, I have arranged another safari with my girlfriend already in the following week after again comparing it to other companies.

 Verified Unforgettable experience Visiting Kenya was my life trip. I am so touched and full of emotions Everything was more than 100% well planed. The tour guys were just amazing - they came in our hearts. Thanks to them this trip was unforgettable. Thank you so much! We had 6 days in Safari: Masai Mara, over Nivasha lake to Amboseli. The whole time with tour guide Charles, the very kind guide whose bright eyes and experience was what make safari unforgettable. Charles thank to his experience has spotted so many animals which other tour guides just passed and haven’t noticed. We have travelled via train as well. I must say that as mom & teen sons only I was afraid a bit. All was so welll planed and I was fascinated how perfectly organized are the train stations in Kenya. Yes, comparing to that is Prague main station nightmare :). After few days at Diany beach we went back by train to Mombasa. The full day with Mufasa tour fuide John and his brother Anthony was something so unique, lovely, honest and we have seen exactly what we wanted to see. As well we have learned so much about Nairobi, habits and much more. From the first email with the agent Lucy to dropping of at the airport was everything just great. Thank you Mufasa!! Marie & my boys
